Greatest Sports Films: Disagreement always arises when one compiles
lists of the top 20, top 25 or top 50 films of any genre - and sports movies
are no different. There are major similarities in the various lists that follow,
but they do exhibit distinct differences as well.

Note: The films that are marked
with a yellow star are the films that
"The Greatest Films" site has selected as the "100
Greatest Films".

list of the Top 20 Sports Movies (published
February 6, 2001).
